Ittosai 330MM Honyaki Yanagiba NEW

Brand New never used 330mm Honyaki Yanagiba...bought from Korin about 4 - 5 years ago. Comes with Ebony saya and pin. For those that don't know...there is a coating on these knives put on at the factory. It is done to prevent rust during shipment / display. Ittosai is the only company I know who does this but there may be more. I never removed the coating (don't know what it is, or how to get it off, though I'm sure someone on the boards here does). I still kept the knife oiled; one can never be too sure. This one has a hamon line but it is not as high contrast as some of the other knives I have sold. Can't find these anymore, not sure why but they have all but disappeared within the US on the primary market at least. First 1k takes it...
